Emacs Continuous Build on Hydra

Emacs Continuous Build on Hydra

[Christian Ohler]

Rob Vermaas and Ludovic Courtès took the initiative to set up a 
continuous build for Emacs trunk on Hydra at 
http://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/gnu/emacs-trunk .

It builds (and runs ERT tests) on these platforms:
i686-cygwin
i686-darwin
i686-freebsd
i686-linux
x86_64-darwin
x86_64-linux

The first three of these are currently reported as broken; I presume 
this is not because Emacs is actually broken on these platforms, but 
because Emacs' build recipe on Hydra needs further tweaking.  I will 
look into this later next week (unless someone beats me to it).

More details are in this thread: 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/hydra-users/2011-04/msg00001.html

For a list of other GNU packages that have a continuous build on Hydra, 
see http://hydra.nixos.org/project/gnu .

Christian.

This is very nice. Is there any possibility to include w32 too?

My impression is that Hydra doesn't support w32, but I'm not very 
familiar with it.

I build the Emacs trunk regularly on Cygwin without a problem (and with 
no special build recipe beyond './configure && make').  If you want to 
send me Hydra's build recipe and error messages, I can probably help.

Someone must have fixed this in the meantime; the most recent build on 
Hydra was successful.  Thanks for offering to help.

Hydra now sends notifications about build breakages in emacs trunk to 
the mailing list emacs-buildstatus.

If you want to receive these notifications, please subscribe at 
http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-buildstatus .

Thanks to Ludovic Courtès and Stefan Monnier for setting this up.

Christian.
